grocery_mony 8 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 isnt there already a percentage taken out of the prize pools for dealers. I believe last year it was like 3%, so every entry has 300 going to the dealers. if not i would tip 4 to6 % but if there already is money taken out of the prize pool 100k on 12 mill sounds about right.

PokerDealer2005 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 and this is why your a dealer.Btw your forst post indicated you knew for sure. I hate people to clai things when they are not sure if it is true. And I dont believe a few of yo9ur friends told you either and if they did I dont believe they work there.What do you mean by " and this is why your a dealer " ? That is a moronic statement there pal. And rumor has it that he did tip a million. I dealt the series last year and know many people who dealt it this year. A few were playing in our room yesterday and said he in fact left a million for dealers and the floor. Link to post Share on other sites

rocksquid 50 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Didn't they stop Hachem from doing that last year because they had to finally admit that the "brick" was just a wad of singles with a hundred on each end?sounds like the staff watched too much My Cousin Vinny.

j88ryan 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Actually I'd tip %15 of the total. Its just like tipping for service at a restaraunt, they just happened to wait on you for 2 months.You tip 15%?Cheap *******. Standard Tip nowadays is at leaset 20% Link to post Share on other sites

Lucious Pusey 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I have no idea how much Jamie Gold tipped, but seeing as he was already rich I don't think $1 million is totally unrealisteic. Link to post Share on other sites

ugothustld 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Wow. You're really generous. I think that's way too much to be honest. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think dealers make a better wage than servers. I used to serve and we get paid 2.83 an hour plus tips. I think dealers make more than that.Yes, that is true. Dealers make $2.42 more than servers. Considering that you need to know a lot more, schooling, gaming licenses, uniforms, etc. Oh and all the tips are taxed, unlike servers who claim maybe 15% of their tips. There was a rumor going around that he would tip 1 mil if he won, whether he did or not, i doubt it, but it doesnt matter. The guy doesnt care about the money, he was actually thinking of throwing the tournament away. Link to post Share on other sites

Socrates 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You tip 15%?Cheap *******. Standard Tip nowadays is at leaset 20%I should clarify that in reality when it comes to waitstaff, I usually tip 20-25% depending on service. There are some of my favorite places we go where we tip 30% or more just to make sure we don't wait for a table or have to wait for anything next time we show up. Hell, there are some places where we can sit a table of 10 or more and they remember pretty much everything about us, what we drink, what we usually order for appetizers etc... - what goes around comes around.

DanielSon 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Didn't Jamie Gold say he was giving it all to his sick father? If that's the case I hope he tipped out of his pocket because his dad should get the whole $12 million or Gold is a liar! lol Link to post Share on other sites

kate2223 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Obviously you all are idiots and have never had to work a job were you get paid minimum wage and your main source of income is in tips. LUCKY YOU!!! The dealers this year got paid $5.15/hr which after taxes came out to around $4.87/hr plus anything that you greedy bastards decided to tip the dealers.... which wasn't much concidering I just got my final check that was $2,384 for 83 hours of work, plus my toke rate. You have to keep in mind that we kept the games going, and if it weren't for us there would be no ****ing W.S.O.P. I just can't believe that NOT ONE person at the final table tipped ANYTHING. So either we're getting ****ed HARD by the players.... which I would like to think wasn't happening (since pretty much everyone has had to work for minimum wage at one point or another, and remembers what it was like) or by Harrahs Entertainment. I knew a million dollars was alot to ask for but come on... a little somethin' somethin' at least... I would LOVE to hear some feedback on this.... Link to post Share on other sites
